[MusicBeSweetYo]

the fact that this is a high school performance is amazing.

[LarssonKirsten]

[Clementsongirl]

[TheMorenoZanardi]

lightspeed chormatic scale

[xoxbribri]

nice im learning that im 12 and im a level higher on flute than im supose to be in im so exited!

[lillypop3526]

@xoxbribri haha im 12 and im playing at college level! :D

[1xskaterguyx11]

@lillypop3526 What?! You asian?

Im asking because I have a lot of friends AND I MEAN ALOT OF FRIENDS and they dont play at college level.

And Im not racist .-.

[freedcartoons]

that bumble bee would be flying pretty slow if its wings were flapping to the beat

(or at least every singe 64th note that girl played.)

- awesome by the way, you guys rock! :) )

[TopGunGEneral]

my friend let me hold her piccolo and it took me forever just to make a note. xD I don't even know what note it was either.

[KodaBby94]

Woodlands HS? As in, Texas?? :D

[Meganista21]

Good job =)

[123Waffle101]

All Hot, All Flute players, All Pro. Yet still cant get on my level as mlg commando pro flute player.

[HunterRyan96]

Go Flute!!!

[SophiaVonHelgastein]

I don't know why but this makes me laugh

[YoungFlutest]

@SophiaVonHelgastein I guess it sounds like someone's being tickled? XD

[GreenButterflyRacing]

wow

[flutebot]

@thelinkcourtet2 I hope your wooden reed burns in hell. It's a lot more flammable than I am. Or I hope it chips. Either one would be great.

[LemonsarecoolTM]

It makes me think of a strong gust of wind.

[woodwind538]

that was awsome :)

[flutebot]

@sAsUsAkU6000 and just and FYI, it's "inanimate object". Don't go trying to lecture people when you can't even convey what you want to say properly, KID.

[flutebot]

@sAsUsAkU6000 Oh, my apologies dear. When I said clarinets, I was refering to the group of people that actually PLAY the clarinet. I didn't think I'd have to specifically clarify that. I thought people would have enough common sense to comprehend the connotation. I'm sorry. I should've know that STUPID people would misunderstand.

[WorldofGino]

@flutebot the term for someone who plays the clarinet is clarinetist.

[Noritaas2]

OMG this is awsomeeee :D

[sAsUsAkU6000]

I think this is really good , but I prefer it on the clarinet or trumpet better . (:

[flutebot]

My comment was from so long ago, get the fuck over it LAMES. Leaving a comment is not an invitation to send me messages. If you dont like what I have to say, move on to the next comment and let it go -__-

[TheAnotherPenguin]

[andiandchelsa]

@flutebot lololollll i love tour first commentt:). I play flute too...and piano piccolo violin drums and i tried clarinet but i hated itt(:

[flutebot]

@andiandchelsa I love that you're not bitching at me like the others. You have common sense <3

[andiandchelsa]

@flutebot why thank youuu<3

[KaiaStarr1]

Do you know if there is a trio of flight of the bumble bee??? And also were did you get the music. Thanks :)

[Mrdianalynn]

nice!

[lilliillliiilllliiii]

Can I please know how long it took for the girl to get those crazy rundown chromatic notes?

[MizExotic1]

did anyone else see that little boy at the very end?!

[HarryPottersGinny1]

Wow!... O.O I so wish I were part of that flute section... But there's no possible way that I would have been first part...

[UpzideDownNBackwardz]

I love my flute xD

<Reuben3

:)

[Tiffanyjlc]

this is high school??!

[cincinlolz]

i have to respect both XD my bro plays clarinet, but just like with flautists you get the good ones and the cruddy ones, but its the person not the instrument (unless its a bad quality instrument..or broken)

[MadHatterGeek]

:) go flutes!

[Insanemusician333]

1:16 to the end of the piece made my day. lol

[totoroiscutie]

why dont the flutes and clarinets both simmer down. they're both lovely instruments

[Wicked9485]

@totoroiscutie i know right! i play flute and i like it, but my sister plays clarinet and we both play the flight of the bumble bee and it sounds great, BOTH instruments(:

[jokas96]

Hey, awesome! I play in a flute quartet the flight of bumblebee too! But you play 1000000 times better than us!

[flutebot]

lol. :D

[Cissypercflute]

You guys are awesome, Fantastic, I want to play just like you guys.

Random; This was performed on me birthday

You guys are awesome

[multimillonare]

u go gurls!!!!

[IrishPotatoSack]

@flutebot Just cause one clarinetist is an ***hole doesn't mean we all are ;)

[alphacentoree]

holy cow i have goose bumps! I've played flute, piccolo, oboe for many years and have never done anything like that!!! great job!!!

[96mingo96]

Sounds Great! I wish I could flutter tounge, it sounds much cooler that way!

[bowlerhat347]

Wow I can't wait to be able to play this! :D

[alyssaAPHA]

wow people are at each others throats about which instrument is better. very nicely played

[3piecesuits]

Would like to know the arranger/publisher. Was it part of a collection or by itself?

[chatrumpet1]

good.. but trumpet rocks..

[stremme16]

clarinets do not sound like ducks! you have your own opinion and i have mine. CLARINETS ROCK!!!

[007JamesBondGal]

I have to play flute 1 for this in my next school concert!! :o

[SopranoPry]

hey don't dis the Oboe, if you get someone who knows what they are doing it can be a very beautiful instrument

[Yamaguchi1494]

@SopranoPry haha I play oboe first day I started in six grade everyone said it sounded like an old lady or a cat screeching o.O, now I get compliments from college band directors, so practice practice

[SopranoPry]

wow highschool...im extremely impressed

[Mackieb810]

One word: WOW! Im highly impressed that you can stay together that well, and finger that fast!! Way to go!

[Kaseem995]

seriously slutbot nobody wants to listen to nag about your pretty little instrument

[landonian100]

@Kaseem995 hey cut the person some slack... and if you dont i will shove one in your mouth and down your throat. not to be mean or anything, but flute rules and i wont tolerate the crap that people dish out to lovers of the instrument cause i play it proudly as well!

[Kaseem995]

@landonian100 my god that was 2 months ago o.o get over it man

[EmilyYayz]

this is awesome! so skilled

but trumpet is more awesome ;)

[alyssaAPHA]

[destinyhope135]

[StabStabTwinky]

[fleegirl939]

[xTheFeMox]

O.O

^^

[orangeandpurplewalls]

wow. holy crap they are so good!!!

[judyshahn]

you did this so well! i couldn't tell when one flute started and the other began.

[frenchjammer]

AWESOME=]

[TrebleClefBflat2]

Holy.

A High School quartet!!!!!!

I want our four best flutes to do this!!!!.

Good Job.

[koreanman113]

it doesn't matter how you play... it's just if you can make a good tone

[aznpiccplayer123]

well it's more like you need to be able to play well WITH a good tone.

[flutebot]

stfu chunkey monkey! clarinets are just jealous little idiots because their instruments sound like dying ducks.

:D

[alcgda]

lol!!!so true!!!

[emoknickersXcmgs]

When played correctly, they sound amazing. You're just jealous that flute and piccolo are so easy(: HAHA! Totally kidding.

I play Clarinet, Flute and Piccolo so I can say that(:

[flutebot]

clarinets still suck :D

well, actually. i will allow myself to say that their low notes sound nice. but that's ALL!

[0wnuall101]

@flutebot lolll, agreeddd

[flutebot]

hahaha -high 5- :D

[IIzSimon]

@flutebot shut teh fuck up D:

Clarinet is amazing 3:

[tomolad93]

both are indeed amazin but flute has much betta multiphonics ^^

(i play both coz i actually am tht awesome apparently)

[landonian100]

@tomolad93 flute rules over and piccolo is second!!!

(but that's just my opinion and nobody cares about poor landon... :( ......)

[Pickle1312]

@emoknickersXcmgs flute is easy for some people but not all xD i find it extremely difficult because i have lots of lung problems so the breathing makes things hard

[knightd3vil4]

i dont have breathing problems but i still run out of breath easily

[fishcomputer33]

@flutebot  lol fail

[flutebot]

why fail? :P

[rferenac]

@flutebot

if you say that clarinets sound like dying ducks I would like to know what do you think about oboes

[AlyssHrt123]

@rferenac oboe is the baby duck, clarinet is the momy duck and bass clarinet is the daddy duck. :D jk jk they all sound great, but some people just don't knnow how 2 play their instrument adn THAT is when they sound like dying ducks. a bad flutist sound like a dying dolphin. :D

[flameking01]

@flutebot no dont even hate on clarinets just cuz it sounds better on clarinet doesnt mean anything

[shizune1997]

@flutebot lol ths freaking funnie and i agree

[Caitlynismebff]

@flutebot I SOOOOOOOO AGREE!~!!!!

[MrBarisax101]

@flutebot hey i play bass clarinet >:( but i also play sax and flute

[gothpixxxie]

@flutebot ahahaha yeah agreed, i played the flute, dropped it cause started smoking cigs, but still can play a bit.

[MizJustinBieber101]

@flutebot i kno rite exactly wat i think

[MizJustinBieber101]

@flutebot exactly

[MizJustinBieber101]

@flutebot

[MizJustinBieber101]

@flutebot

[BoomBoomCherrycherry]

@flutebot I'm a flute player and this statement is so uberly false!!

[Insanemusician333]

@flutebot My clarinet doesn't. : )

[AlyssHrt123]

@Insanemusician333 they do in the higher range. which isn't very high for flutes. My clarinet playing friend sai "we play VERY high" an their high note is our regular F

[Insanemusician333]

@AlyssHrt123 Bb clarinet goes up to the high E an octave above the high E three leger lines above the staff....That's pretty high to me lol. But yes flute does go higher and I respect both instruments equally.

[Tchaikovsky09]

@flutebot Only if it's played really badly (clarinet)!

[AlyssHrt123]

@Tchaikovsky09 - it depends on the skill like others have said before, the clarinet next 2 me DOES sound like a dying duck, but my friend sound VERY good on it, just depends. same for flute and sax. and all other instruments... except percussion.

[ReadingWeirdo]

@flutebot

Not all clarinet players are 'idiots'. I respect all instruments.

Moron. :l

[LuckyStarTeen]

@ReadingWeirdo HEY im a clairnet!

[ReadingWeirdo]

@LuckyStarTeen

Nice. I'm a clarinet player, too. :]

[GymnasticsLover7903]

@ReadingWeirdo im clarinet too

[mellove98]

@ReadingWeirdo iam a cliarnet player,trombone,keybored,drums and a flute.

[AlyssHrt123]

@flutebot go look op on youtube, flight of the bumblebee on clarinet, go to the one with a guy playing it. watch it, then rethink about wat u just said.

[itchygoober]

@flutebot instead of being ignorant and finding appall in your own instrument look at all instruments. And trust me, there is way more things a clarinet can do than a flute can do, and it's harder to do those things. I respect every instrument, not just the ones I play- Clarinet, Guitar, Flute and Piano. And seriously? The duck is the oboe... But the oboe is actually an amazing instrument to play too. (and clarinet players are referred to as the smart section, owned).

[JazzyPick]

@flutebot aww.. you hurt my feelings :( jk I'm a clarinet player, though! :)

[AlexandraSilverSpear]

@flutebot Most obnoxious people in my band class play the clarinet.

[gothickchik13]

@flutebot fuck you im a clarinet player and i will not allow u to say that! flute sounds like a broken radio so shut up!

[sAsUsAkU6000]

@flutebot HAHAHA ! I am sorry but uh , clarinets don't sound like dying ducks when they play this . You can play this on anything . (: It's impossible for an inanimated object to be jealous .

[TheAnimalMiss]

@flutebot Well, I play the clarinet and my sister the flute and we love to harmonise. Although my sister did laugh at this comment for some stupid reason.... My instrument sounds like a living duck btw :)

[TheLinkCourtet2]

@flutebot HEY i hope you burn in hell after this comment clarinets are beautiful sound and its bad that youcant realize this

[chunkeymonkey246]

OMN i play the clarinet but usta play that STUPID stick of SHITTTTTTT.

[MXGWAPS]

oh my gosh! men i wish i could play like that!!! but it will take sometime. and I WILL LEARN THAT!!!

they need to work on their posture thou, like how they hold their flute

[SmartlyStupid]

LOL and to think that people jabbed jokes at me because I played the flute for a year :P Look like freakin' AWESOME that is!!

And even now, as a singer, I wish I could go a THIRD that speed, let alone even HALF!

Seriously, this is INSANE!!

[julieconti]

WOW!!! Great job girls!!! Is it possible to get me the arrangement for this flute quartet? I would love to play it in our orchestra concert with the other flutes.

Thanks and GREAT job!!! :-)

[alveana14]

CRAZY FINGERS!!

[Nathy2310]

how can i get the scores of this amazing cuartet! i wanna to play it too with a cuartet!

[XplatinmsnipaX]

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG I WAS AT THAT SCHOOL for a music in the parks field trip

[FellPonyz]

WOW

[CreemeOfCheese]

Hey, you know that this song is hard, but if you can play the chromatic scale really good, then it brings down the level of difficulty a lot! Because most of the song is just parts of the chromatic scale... GREAT JOB THOUGH!!

[chipmonkeybanana]

it's not exactly the chromatics that do that it's when to know to change in the scale. but yes if you know the chromticts it helps a lot.

[sicus5D]

yes this is true but just being able to play the chromatic scale isnt enough because the song is very skippy along with being able to play the chromatic scale really well you have to be able to jump fromany note to any note almost flawlessly

[Faerie13Flute]

certainly a a challenging piece, as far as the speed. but really, when near everything is slurred, which is what it sounds like, it makes it a bit easier to play. not that they didn't do a wonderful job.

[224108spacer]

MY GOD

YOU ARE ANGELS!

[TheRealTiftof]

i think that this is the fastest song

[primeminister78]

now imagine when fast professionals do it.

[Leighthesim]

wow this is awesome! you guys did amazingly!!

[DaPuddingMonster]

oh wow i had to do something like that last year but it wasn't nearly as hard as that!!!

[vertousocram9176]

my god....speechless...

[rockergirlz823]

aw man i thought i was good!!!!

[Iceberry8]

i wish i can someday play like that! amazing!

[JesusChristLives100]

good job on not freaking out. i would have gotten scared. you sound so relaxed. actually, slow music may be considered more difficult

[MuSiCaLcHiCk09]

wow i'm a beginner at flute and i heard this song was really hard..... i don't think i can even play close to that fast!

[Murphgirl128]

wowowowowowowowwo o.O omg ur awesoe

[why1so1serious1]

i'm stunned that high school people can do such wonderfull things

[piffffpaffff]

OMG, I'm crushed. You're unbelievable!

[flutefingers]

AWESOME

[starbuxdude56]

[tnasty82]

Unbelievable...High School?

[nichelleSeizures]

[FluteViolin88]

[misskelsy]

[noygam]

amaizing!!! 5 stars!!

[pandapinay101]

Does anyone have the music for this quartet?? I would really appreciate it!! Please!

Lovely video by the way :) You guys were amazing !

[singing4stardom]

:O absolutley incredible.

ive played for three years and cant go nearly as fast as you guys. amazing!!

[Billy4life53]

I performed this once as a quartet, i was the 4th part. we didn't go this fast at all.... haha... but this is really great!

and yes, the fun part is passed to each player!

[archuletafan6410]

wow. maybe it's just me, but i think it was a little TOO fast. i know it is supposed to be really fast, but that sounded like it was pushing it. and the other three girls didn't get to do much, because the main girl got the fun part! fix the posture of a few of you, but overall, lovely, awesome, and very entertaining.

[foreverlaughingalice]

its suppose to be that fast, and the lead part is passed on to all the girls in a certain point

so it is fun =]

source:i play the flute, and you can tell by watching their fingers

[rickylascaze001]

ur a hater it sound awesome all 3 girls and there was nothing wrong with their poster, if your going 2 hate on people whats the point of commenting

[archuletafan6410]

i'm not hating at all, i thought it was a very good performance, as i stated in my earlier comment. i thought they wanted to know what we thought about it, so i told them my opinion. i don't think that's hating. geez, people!

and i play the flute too, so i'm not completely clueless.

[lolli7975046]

ive been playing flute for two years. this is really good

[canossa62]

Wow!! Amazing interpretation!!

[gamecube6]

HOLY CRAP AWESOME!!!!!

[risseven]

5 stars

[DJProm3theus]

This is amazing!

[nunnugunee]

[dtingleff]

Sweet! Musical high school girls are hot!

[dking121290]

we have 5 flutes in wind ensemble including me, my primary instrument is sax but the flutes arent too good. im the only one in the whole school that takes flute seriously lol. i really like how this song sounds in a flute quartet great job.

[HappinessandSyanide]

we only have three flutes!
